I’m proud to be part of KOHANA Family. At KOHANA, children from diverse cultural backgrounds come together, creating a wonderful environment where they respect each other’s values. My son is thriving within this diverse community. KOHANA offers a small class size, ensuring that each student receives strong support in their learning. Additionally, there are extracurricular activities, providing opportunities to learn not only academics but also social skills. I look forward to seeing how my son will continue to grow in this special environment.
The appeal of this school is that it is open and allows students to interact with many people on a daily basis. Although there is a class homeroom teacher, each subject is taught by a specialized teacher, and because the students are divided vertically into teams for various activities, they can interact with students from other grades. In other words, there are no strangers in the school, which makes it a very homey and relaxed place where children feel at ease. What I find most wonderful is that the higher grade children are very kind to the lower grade children. This can be seen at many events, and it is very natural and pleasant. This creates a very good chain of events for the children. Although the school is small in size, there are more opportunities to come in contact with many people of various ages and positions than in a typical school in Japan, which I think is a big attraction.
Recently, new initiatives have been added, and I feel that the teachers are really thinking about events that the children will be excited about. Since the school is close to us and still new, both parents and children enjoy their school life as if they are building it up together. My daughters have since enrolled at Kohana, they have gained a sense of responsibility and confidence, and have developed respect for those around them. The academic side of the school is not easy and I feel that it is quite hard, but I am encouraged by the children’s willingness to work hard. I feel that this is due to the teachers’ ability to motivate the children.
More than anything, my child loves to go to school everyday.
